Gisela....I wonder who Mariah is that the adopted daughter mentioned when speaking of cleaning the house ( 1:04:00 ). She seemed to cut the name short a bit and get a little nervous when she said it. The females in the house were her, London and Avantae (who I believe she also referred to as Ava). It also couldn't be one of the boys with that name as she specifically said the boys would be sleeping while they cleaned.
I grew up with my mum often going with less or without so us kids could eat more. I did the same with my son's, they health and well-being should be first priority
Reminds me of Jeffrey Baldwin, Tesslynn OCull, Adrian Jones, Dakota Collins, among others I just can't remember all their names, but I can see their faces.
Nicole Finn, here in Iowa. Ran a pet rescue out of her home in Des Moines while starving her daughter to death in a locked room...with the window nailed shut because the poor girl was embarrassing Nicole by getting out and begging for food in the neighborhood. And then there was Michael Valva (one of New York's Finest!) and his equally vile fiancee, Angela Pollina...He cried crocodile tears on the stand and said he loved his son "with all his heart."
@meepk633 that's an optimistic view. I hope it's few but considering how long some of these cases go without anyone reporting these children missing, I suspect it's far more than anyone wants to contemplate.
No offence intended but everyone should have to jump through hoops to adopt, it's clearly too easy in some states and POS adoptive parents who do it for nefarious reasons exploit that. If it was a difficult process only the ones who do it for the right reasons (like yourself) would see it through x
Yes I do. That couple who starved their daughter and the fathers described her as being " dead as a doornail" to 911 and then told his wife " I don't want to talk about this when we get home I just want to get baked" so he could afford weed and believe me he'd NEVER missed a meal and he stayed home while his wife worked. If you are not capable of giving a bottle, changing a diaper and soothing a baby don't have any its not hard.
What bothers me, on top of what I've seen here today, is that hundreds of children RIGHT NOW are being treated horribly by adoptive parents, and no one is stepping in to save them. These stories will continue to be heard every week. Shameful.
I shared a bit of my own story in the comments I was adopted by a family member at age of 10, the amount of abuse and cruelty was evident social services did nothing
@@donnashookedcreationsxoxo635 i am so sorry. i can't believe it yet i know it's happening. i thank my lucky stars everday I went to an amazing family. I hope you've been able to somehow learnt how to process what you've gone through.
Many times it's not just the foster/adoptive parents. It can also involve any biological children the "parental" figures have had previously. Adoptive families often "other" foster and adopted children in many ways and even do this subconsciously.
I have a 4 bedroom house, 2 bath , 2 story , unfinished basement ( used for laundry and storage) 4 professional adult children, 4 grandbabies that love me ,yet not married, and no individual bathrooms is the reason I can not be a foster parent or absolutely no adoption! What in the love of all that is holy is going on! It actually makes me sick
Yes,i was just wondering how many checks are done,on people like her,that end up murdering their adopted children!?It happens quite often,and was there a man in the household?Lots of babies/children 'given' to monsters,and yes,they are quite often overweight,but are starving the children.Why does this happen🤔
Makes me think the system doesn't want the children adopted out. Likely a financial gain of some sort would seem to be a motive. Child trafficking comes to mind as well.
Exactly! I strongly believe that foster and adopted children should be obligatory enrolled in public schools and ongoing therapy at all times so at least one adult would have an eye on them and their daily habits outside the home. Homeschooling, while valid, should not be allowed at all for children who at any time were wards of state. The state literally just dumped them on their butcher's doorstep and washed their hands!
Children in her *torture chambers,* they suffered to death. Where in the hell was the child protection services? Why were the children taken from the bio parents? Where are the bio mom’s and dad’s? At the end, you’ll see it’s all about fkn *money!* Money given to the state, the county, the foster care system, the foster/adopted families. *MONEY!* is truly the root to all that is evil!
EXACTLY!!!! I had my niece since birth! I picked her up from the hospital! It was a safety plan for 1 year. When foster care got involved they just showed up and took her! When I asked why they said I was non compliant with foster care. First of all there are 5 reasons for an EMERGENCY removal. One is SUBSTANTIAL NON COMPLIANCE AND THE CHILDS LIFE IS IN DANGER! Not only was I absolutely compliant, there was no emergency! She lied in order to get the judge to sign an emergency removal bypassing my right to speak to the judge, bypassing all policies, and bypassing everyone else above her who could have stopped it! When I asked where she was going they said it was confidential! She lied in order to take her and nobody could stop her!
Foster then adopts. It's a process to foster but there are so many children over the age of 2 in foster care because most people want newborns and babies. Once you are a foster parent, it's usually easier to foster more.
I was adopted in 1979 and my brother was adopted 4 years later ans because my parents had already been approved the process wasnt as tenuous with my brother as it was with me. I dont know if this is the same in the States but children seem to be going to the worst kind of so called humans they can find! How do you loose track of a child for so long? Shed have got away with it if she hadnt reported Blake missing.
@Ruth78620 it became an issue because another kid called 911 about wanting to commit suicide. Then she reported Blake missing because the kid told cps he hadn't seen Blake in 5 years and she was trying to cover her butt. I hope you were adopted into a wonderful family!
Im a single parent and im allowed to foster but i work in the field in the UK and they looked into my entire life. If you want to adopt in the UK its nearly impossible. Friends of mine tried amd they had to give full access to their medical records, go for counceling together and apart, give up smoking, give access to all their finacials and they wanted to adopt a special needs child as her husbands brother was born so prematurely he is severly disabled and he has helped care for hom his entire life. Sadly their marrige didnt work out and she stopped the process which is so sad because she'd would make the most loving mother but she would have had to work and didnt think it was fair to the child as much as it broke her heart.
As a survivor of extreme A, heating her say she just wanted to ask her perpatrator why, is relatable. W therapy and time you realize the why isnt important. It cant be justified. I hope the surving children get the help they will need
These poor babies are so grateful to be going to a home and not be in a group home they keep lots of secrets. Our whole system with these sweet babies need a complete overhaul. We can go to the moon but no one can sit down and figure out a way and place to keep these children safe. Make it make sense.
This makes me physically sick...please keep us informed on new info. I wonder how the remaining kids are doing, I pray for them🙏 She should get the death penalty!!
Not really. Once it gets to the point of adoption they're treated as though it's their own kids and there's no investigation until someone calls. I'm a cps worker in Canada and we have moved away from adoptions for this reason. We will seek long term orders so we can still have some oversight. We also are supposed to see the child once a month, alternating between with the caregiver and separate from caregiver but that's our policy, not sure what theirs is. Many people can be amazing up until adoption and there would be no red flags at that time. But once adoption goes through there's no oversight but we also don't pay once adoption goes through, they just collect the Canada child tax credit like everyone does with children, and it's not a whole lot.
Even if they stop doing follow ups after adoptions are finalized, there should be a law passed that at a minimum checks to make sure the kids are getting to their well child doctor visits each year. Then these monsters wouldn't be able to beat or starve these kids to death. 😢 this is just so so sad. Taken from birth parents to stop them from getting abused and then get with someone like this.....just so awful💔
I know right? I adopted and they followed up all the time, they did not allow home schooling and I kept contact with the social worker for multiple things.
Just watched the replay! Excellent presentation, G! I can't understand how she was able to adopt the children? The system is broken and there is too much evil in this world!
I believe ALL HOME SCHOOLS need to have random IN HOME checks at RANDOM TIMES! I’m so sick of our children being beaten, tortured, and or unalived !! A lot of these monsters claim they are home schooled so they can seclude them from others and keep everything hidden for the whole world to see! I hope this MONSTER rots. I’m so sad for all these innocent children. Truly BREAKS MY HEART!
Ps I would like to add. I’m well aware that there are amazing families, moms, dads, legal guardians, adopted mothers, and fathers, all who truly love their children and are doing the right thing by homeschooling them. Also, who would never hurt them? I just truly feel in my heart that homeschooling should be getting checked on frequently by the state at random times. I feel if we were to do that maybe we could just then prevent some of these innocent lives being lost by complete monsters
100% and unnanounced CPS visits. We dont give our clients notice of when we're visiting so what we walk into is whats really going on, i will never understand anyone who hurts a child. Theres a special place in hell for them.
@@LisaMarieLove1im adopted and I hit the lottery with my parents. Quite a few of my parent friends also adopted, all wonderful situatuons. Its so sad you only hear the bad side of fostering and adopting.
The fact that no recent pictures were taken of these kids say enough for me. I’m constantly taking pictures of my kids, like every day doing the just mundane things that my mom heart thinks are so amazing.
I'm only 10 mins in, but I bet she got ssi benifits for these boys and she got scared because cps started asking questions so she called the oldest in missing. How messed up is this lady though?!? Just WOW SMH people never fail to surprise me. Thanks for sharing their story
Every day it seems like there’s a case of murdered children. And young adults. I just can’t wrap my head, my heart, my soul around such evil. My heart breaks hearing and seeing these! May that evil witch get her rightful judgment for killing Blake and London and the torturing of the other children. Monsters and Boogeymen truly exist💗💙💔💔
So f-ing infuriating!!!! CPS does what exactly?!?! Besides steadily drop the ball when it comes to following up with these children! It's literally the same story just different innocent lives that were lost. Makes me want to scream!!!! 🤬
Don't forget they take children away from often loving parents and homes for things that aren't that serious. Trauma then follows the family for generations.
Im adopted too and this case is what nightmares are made of. I was so lucky to get the parents i did but in the UK you dont get money when you adopt only when you foster so maybe if they stopped that these monsters would foster and social services should be goong in regularly to do checks and take the children aside to speak to them so if their are problems they feel like they can speak freely.
Leticia Stauch who murdered SuperHero Gannon also manipulated Harley to buy cleaning supplies and drive around with Gannon's body. I truly pray n hope Al n Landon have reestablished a relationship with her because it took so much strength to testify after listening to her family and supporting her mom up until the day she claimed Insanity. Harley loved Gannon, Laney, and even Landon. I hope they contacted her with understanding and forgiveness
There was an Australian documentary about "rehoming, adoption" picnics in one of the Southern States, like Missippi or Missouri, I don't remember. It was horrific, children paraded around, adopted and abused.
So very sad and on heels of finding young Mr Muir. This happens everywhere all the time unfortunately DHS or whatever the acronym is corrupt and no accountability
They have more power than the police and lie to the judges to manipulate and retain power over the children. All for $funding received per child. It is child trafficking by the government, so all allowed.
It’s so upsetting to hear these stories. These children’s services entities remove children from their parent’s care just to have them be abused and starved when they were far better off in the home they started out in. Why would they allow the children to go for visits with the bio family if they’re so negligent?!?! Makes no sense! If it’s safe for them to go for visits then it’s safe for them to go home with their families as long as there’s a safety net in place. Most times the families just need some help and resources. That poor momma😢 Yikes that thing sure isn’t starving now is It?! I can’t imagine It coming after those poor babies😢 I have no doubt It will get precisely what It has coming, whether it be by the government or by another inmate. I firmly believe in cases like this the bio parents should get first dibs on the defendant!!! Let them decide what they want to do with It.
I just can’t believe there are people who voluntarily adopt children and then abuse them. All child abuse is horrific but this just really hurts my heart. She went thru an entire process/background check and did this. My prayers go out for the survivors of this monster.
The biggest house in the neighborhood belonged to a single woman who had adopted two siblings. You get adoption assistance. Wall to wall carpeting,central air. The big screen TV, the newest appliances, ECT.....
I like the way you present true crime and I love your accent, it’s so classy.😊 I also wanted to point out that now that homeschooling with no supervision is legal all these abusers just keep the victims home and starve and abuse them. I’m a teacher and we are mandated reporters, we have to report child abuse. Most of us consider it an almost sacred duty. Now that abusers can “homeschool “ there is nobody standing in the gap, these poor babies have nobody looking out for them. We need to change these laws asap!
As an adopted person i find cases like this so hard. She needs to rot in jail until she dies and then burns in hell forevermore. Who cleared her as suitable to adopt vulnerable children? Yet another CPS failure. My son was born in '97 so shes not been seen for 17 years!!! This is awful.
For every one of these cases we hear about, imagine how many more children are still suffering behind locked doors 🚪? This thought disturbs me to my core.
Putting it politely - she didn't go short of food! Poor children - may they now rest in Peace. Birthmother - it must be so very difficult to cope with this so I am sending you Peace and Strength. Let Justice be served and this apology for a human being compelled to serve Life.
So many questions…where to start? It’s a shame that these children are being failed by the supposed systems we have in place. Yet another tragic story. I pray for our little ones these days with the evil in this world. We must protect our children at all costs! 🙏💜🫶❤️🔥✝️
I think as biological parents you can't just expect society to care for your kids when you fail at parenting. Your kids just won't mean as much to strangers, there will be predators. I believe the responsibility should be first and foremost with the biological parents. Without their neglect, the kids would not have been in a vulnerable position in the first place.
@aminahs9828 now that abortion is being banned in so many states these babies being born to people unable or unwilling to care for them properly will continue to rise. So many young mothers without adequate life and coping skills giving birth.
Im sorry but thats BS. Im adopted and i can assure you my birth mother 100% did the right thing for me as much as it broke her heart. I wasnt neglected until i was in the foster system and thankfully i was only there for a few mo ths before my parents adopted me. There are many, many different reasons why people choose adoption and the should not be judged or shamed for it. Its the biggest act of selfless love a mother can give her baby if she feels she cant care for her baby for whatever reason.
@@candydodson1283i ave a full brother whos 2 years older than me but my birth mothers father was brutal apparently so she kept a boy but gave up her daughter. Im sure you can read between the lines. She did ut to protect me. Theres more good adoption stories but you dont hear about those. In the UK you get mo ey to foster but not when you adopt. I think if that was the case in the states these cases may drop because if theyre doing it solely for money they wont adopt theyll foster and CPS should absolutely be checking on foster children on a regular basisu and you take the children aside and speak to them alone so if there are issues youbcan sort them there and then.
Watching on replay but I wish all adopted children could be as fortunate as me. I was adopted at 3 by a family that already had 4 natural children. I knew nothing but love and acceptance by this family. Fortunately, most adopted children are in families like mine. Thanks for the coverage. Love your channel!
I truly appreciate you and your team's hard work. Y'all have really built an amazing community!! That's why so many folks help you to get the correct information.
Blake's biological mom is hard to believe. He was utterly distraught and begging to not be returned yet she didn't contact authorities, bang on the monster's door, request a well check, nothing???
I feel awful for the bio mother of Blake who had no legal choice but to let her son go and hope he contacts her when hes 18. Heartbreaking. I couldn't not even imagine.
Doesn't the FBI get called immediately regarding a child going missing under suspicious circumstances? Or is that state to state? I was under the impression that every state country-wide assigns an endangered missing child's case over to the FBI as lead investigators immediately... regardless of their location potentially being moved across state lines.
Correction: maybe not immediately if it's pertaining to a certain close member/friend/identified suspect of the child/their family, though still immediately if the child is transferred over state lines.
A "Home School" isn't a school. It's a parent schooling children at home, registered with the municipality where they live, which means SHE HAD CHILDREN BEFORE SHE ADOPTED THESE ONES!!
It depends on where you live. I think it’s pretty uncommon for parents to have to register their “home school” with anyone. Homeschool lobbies are HUGE and have many republican friends in state legislatures and they fight tooth and nail against any kind of regulation. These days “unschooling” is a big thing. Kids get to be teenagers and still don’t know how to read or do basic math. It’s easier for these psycho parents to have complete control over their families when the kids can’t function in society.
How in 2024 is this happening so much? These people are not being checked and vetted often enough. How can these kids be missing for that long without schools and social services, doctors, benefit agencies noticing? Massive failure and it doesn’t get better. It’s enough to make you lose any hope for the world. 😔
Call Foster and adoptive parents it should be mandated to provide medical professionals sending in records monthly of a full exam not the doctor of choice either it should be a pool of medical professionals that are ordered to see children at certain time fee free
This is just insane , we really need to protect the children better . If you see something say something. I'd rather be called a nosy "Karen" and be right ,than not say something because I was too afraid of what other people thought .
😢😢 more children FAILED😢😢 again , leave our Children alone. Evil times getting worse prison to good for these 😈 people monsters of demons, Thank you for covering and without all the cursing and disgusting language.
What in GOD’s Holy name is wrong with people. LORD have mercy on her soul & may the little boys rest in our Mother Mary’s arms forever. Sweet angels. 🙇♂️🙇🏻♂️ (👼🏼👼🏼).
So many children are really taken for crappy reasons and really shouldn't be taken from their biological parents at all. And so many people that are really good people that would be great parents cannot foster children or adopt them but then people like this can. Unbelievable! Our system is broken.
Thank you for covering this story. I live in the state of North Carolina and I had just heard about this. It is horrific. The system seems to be failing children over and over again. You may want to cover another story that happened in North Carolina. The Zahra Baker story

Really depends upon how crooked the politicians in charge are.

Friends of mine tried amd they had to give full access to their medical records, go for counceling together and apart, give up smoking, give access to all their finacials and they wanted to adopt a special needs child as her husbands brother was born so prematurely he is severly disabled and he has helped care for hom his entire life. Sadly their marrige didnt work out and she stopped the process which is so sad because she'd would make the most loving mother but she would have had to work and didnt think it was fair to the child as much as it broke her heart.
So sad for all the children involved…where do these monsters come from?!
So many of them lately . Heartbreaking all the stories G has covered of late . X
The depths of hell! They are the devils servants walking the earth!
There are so many more charges that can be added, such as, abuse of a corpse.
As a survivor of extreme A, heating her say she just wanted to ask her perpatrator why, is relatable. W therapy and time you realize the why isnt important. It cant be justified. I hope the surving children get the help they will need
When you think you’ve seen the last monster, then this pops its head up. what a woeful life these kids have had. Rest in peace babies.
Every child needs a talk about safety and right vs wrong before going into a foster or adoptive home
These poor babies are so grateful to be going to a home and not be in a group home they keep lots of secrets. Our whole system with these sweet babies need a complete overhaul. We can go to the moon but no one can sit down and figure out a way and place to keep these children safe. Make it make sense.
That big ole Heffa sure hasn’t missed meals while starving those poor babies. Black hearted evil
Best coverage around! Thank you, Gisela! ❤️
This makes me physically sick...please keep us informed on new info. I wonder how the remaining kids are doing, I pray for them🙏
She should get the death penalty!!
They need to hold CPS accountable!!
Not really. Once it gets to the point of adoption they're treated as though it's their own kids and there's no investigation until someone calls. I'm a cps worker in Canada and we have moved away from adoptions for this reason. We will seek long term orders so we can still have some oversight. We also are supposed to see the child once a month, alternating between with the caregiver and separate from caregiver but that's our policy, not sure what theirs is. Many people can be amazing up until adoption and there would be no red flags at that time. But once adoption goes through there's no oversight but we also don't pay once adoption goes through, they just collect the Canada child tax credit like everyone does with children, and it's not a whole lot.

It’s not much money and then they just abuse them, so WHY do they adopt them to begin with, in your opinion?
As long as people are trafficked, there will always be these kinds of cases.
No one has mentioned a partner in the home, so how is a single "mother" allowed to adopt five kids, including special needs?
Once children are adopted their cases are closed with CPS
But they still give them money? In the UK you only get money for fostering that money stops when you adopt.
Even if they stop doing follow ups after adoptions are finalized, there should be a law passed that at a minimum checks to make sure the kids are getting to their well child doctor visits each year. Then these monsters wouldn't be able to beat or starve these kids to death. 😢 this is just so so sad. Taken from birth parents to stop them from getting abused and then get with someone like this.....just so awful💔
They just need to be abolished! Put it back in the family’s hands to guard their own grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc!
Way to many kids being lost 😢just so darn 😔
How does this even happen? Who puts these kids in these homes & doesn't keep an eye on them. It's 2024
I know right? I adopted and they followed up all the time, they did not allow home schooling and I kept contact with the social worker for multiple things.
I know right?! 21st century and we haven’t gotten beyond mental illness…. This lady is seriously TWISTED.
Just watched the replay! Excellent presentation, G! I can't understand how she was able to adopt the children? The system is broken and there is too much evil in this world!
I believe ALL HOME SCHOOLS need to have random IN HOME checks at RANDOM TIMES! I’m so sick of our children being beaten, tortured, and or unalived !! A lot of these monsters claim they are home schooled so they can seclude them from others and keep everything hidden for the whole world to see! I hope this MONSTER rots. I’m so sad for all these innocent children. Truly BREAKS MY HEART!
Ps I would like to add. I’m well aware that there are amazing families, moms, dads, legal guardians, adopted mothers, and fathers, all who truly love their children and are doing the right thing by homeschooling them. Also, who would never hurt them? I just truly feel in my heart that homeschooling should be getting checked on frequently by the state at random times. I feel if we were to do that maybe we could just then prevent some of these innocent lives being lost by complete monsters
100% and unnanounced CPS visits. We dont give our clients notice of when we're visiting so what we walk into is whats really going on, i will never understand anyone who hurts a child. Theres a special place in hell for them.
@@LisaMarieLove1im adopted and I hit the lottery with my parents. Quite a few of my parent friends also adopted, all wonderful situatuons. Its so sad you only hear the bad side of fostering and adopting.
The fact that no recent pictures were taken of these kids say enough for me. I’m constantly taking pictures of my kids, like every day doing the just mundane things that my mom heart thinks are so amazing.
This is so sad. Too many children get lost in the system. Regulations & laws need to be changed.
She probably had several foster kids in the home at the same time she had the five adopted kids.
I'm only 10 mins in, but I bet she got ssi benifits for these boys and she got scared because cps started asking questions so she called the oldest in missing. How messed up is this lady though?!? Just WOW SMH people never fail to surprise me. Thanks for sharing their story
Every day it seems like there’s a case of murdered children. And young adults. I just can’t wrap my head, my heart, my soul around such evil. My heart breaks hearing and seeing these! May that evil witch get her rightful judgment for killing Blake and London and the torturing of the other children. Monsters and Boogeymen truly exist💗💙💔💔
This also reminds me of the Turpin children…& the Vallow/daybell kids .
So f-ing infuriating!!!! CPS does what exactly?!?! Besides steadily drop the ball when it comes to following up with these children! It's literally the same story just different innocent lives that were lost. Makes me want to scream!!!! 🤬
Don't forget they take children away from often loving parents and homes for things that aren't that serious. Trauma then follows the family for generations.
Can we even call this kind of "thing" a human being? Not even animals behave like this. Such a cruelty 😢
Thank you G . As an adopted person I truly thank you for bringing this case to your channel
Im adopted too and this case is what nightmares are made of. I was so lucky to get the parents i did but in the UK you dont get money when you adopt only when you foster so maybe if they stopped that these monsters would foster and social services should be goong in regularly to do checks and take the children aside to speak to them so if their are problems they feel like they can speak freely.
Leticia Stauch who murdered SuperHero Gannon also manipulated Harley to buy cleaning supplies and drive around with Gannon's body. I truly pray n hope Al n Landon have reestablished a relationship with her because it took so much strength to testify after listening to her family and supporting her mom up until the day she claimed Insanity. Harley loved Gannon, Laney, and even Landon. I hope they contacted her with understanding and forgiveness
another case of social services not doing their job right! I think they should shut down that ss place
There was an Australian documentary about "rehoming, adoption" picnics in one of the Southern States, like Missippi or Missouri, I don't remember. It was horrific, children paraded around, adopted and abused.
Ugh. How horrible
Yup they used to do that in ma with profoundly disabled foster kids in Berkshire county MA USA. Finally courts put a stop to that shit!
A pedophiles playground
@lunalady1821
Like slave auctions.
As an adopted person that horrifies me! Children are not preforming monkeys and can you imagine how awful the children who dont get chosen feel? 💔
Oh the guilt that bio mom must have... so freaking sad, my heart breaks for her.
So very sad and on heels of finding young Mr Muir.
This happens everywhere all the time unfortunately
DHS or whatever the acronym is corrupt and no accountability
They have more power than the police and lie to the judges to manipulate and retain power over the children. All for $funding received per child. It is child trafficking by the government, so all allowed.
It’s so upsetting to hear these stories. These children’s services entities remove children from their parent’s care just to have them be abused and starved when they were far better off in the home they started out in. Why would they allow the children to go for visits with the bio family if they’re so negligent?!?! Makes no sense! If it’s safe for them to go for visits then it’s safe for them to go home with their families as long as there’s a safety net in place. Most times the families just need some help and resources. That poor momma😢
Yikes that thing sure isn’t starving now is It?! I can’t imagine It coming after those poor babies😢 I have no doubt It will get precisely what It has coming, whether it be by the government or by another inmate. I firmly believe in cases like this the bio parents should get first dibs on the defendant!!! Let them decide what they want to do with It.
I thought it would be difficult to adopt that many children as a single person.
Hi from Australia, This is like the Shanda Van Ark and poor little Timothy Ferguson, WHY don't people ever mention Timothy Ferguson so sad.
It's cases like this that give foster/adopted parents a bad name
I missed the live but I live about 20 mins from Buncombe County and about 45 mins from Madison County. This case really makes my blood boil.
I just can’t believe there are people who voluntarily adopt children and then abuse them. All child abuse is horrific but this just really hurts my heart. She went thru an entire process/background check and did this. My prayers go out for the survivors of this monster.
The biggest house in the neighborhood belonged to a single woman who had adopted two siblings. You get adoption assistance. Wall to wall carpeting,central air. The big screen TV, the newest appliances, ECT.....
@@finalflowerchild wow! I didn’t release adoption pays like fostering. It’s so sad.
This is so heartbreaking, I’m concerned how this monster has managed to adopt 5 children. Why would anyone want to do this to anyone is beyond me.
I like the way you present true crime and I love your accent, it’s so classy.😊
I also wanted to point out that now that homeschooling with no supervision is legal all these abusers just keep the victims home and starve and abuse them. I’m a teacher and we are mandated reporters, we have to report child abuse. Most of us consider it an almost sacred duty. Now that abusers can “homeschool “ there is nobody standing in the gap, these poor babies have nobody looking out for them. We need to change these laws asap!
Each child in cps needs to have government taken photo annually.
So sad. Satan is alive in these monsters.
As an adopted person i find cases like this so hard. She needs to rot in jail until she dies and then burns in hell forevermore. Who cleared her as suitable to adopt vulnerable children? Yet another CPS failure. My son was born in '97 so shes not been seen for 17 years!!! This is awful.
Cuz teenagers are always running off to Buddhist retreats
For every one of these cases we hear about, imagine how many more children are still suffering behind locked doors 🚪? This thought disturbs me to my core.
Yes, you said it correctly, Fayetteville, NC
I watch you because you tell as much as possible without too much yakity-yak. Thank you. My heart hurts.
Putting it politely - she didn't go short of food! Poor children - may they now rest in Peace. Birthmother - it must be so very difficult to cope with this so I am sending you Peace and Strength. Let Justice be served and this apology for a human being compelled to serve Life.
I watch on my TV so sound doesn't effect me 😂 this case is absolutely disgusting 😢
Thank you for always being a champion for all the missing loved ones ❤
The look in that woman's eyes in her mugshot photo...pure ice.
Besides, evidently, everything he denied to the children ended up in his stomach.
Would there have ever even been an investigation if the perpetrator hadn't called 911 and reported one of them missing?
So many questions…where to start? It’s a shame that these children are being failed by the supposed systems we have in place. Yet another tragic story. I pray for our little ones these days with the evil in this world. We must protect our children at all costs! 🙏💜🫶❤️🔥✝️
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.
💔
I think as biological parents you can't just expect society to care for your kids when you fail at parenting. Your kids just won't mean as much to strangers, there will be predators. I believe the responsibility should be first and foremost with the biological parents. Without their neglect, the kids would not have been in a vulnerable position in the first place.
@aminahs9828 now that abortion is being banned in so many states these babies being born to people unable or unwilling to care for them properly will continue to rise. So many young mothers without adequate life and coping skills giving birth.
Im sorry but thats BS. Im adopted and i can assure you my birth mother 100% did the right thing for me as much as it broke her heart. I wasnt neglected until i was in the foster system and thankfully i was only there for a few mo ths before my parents adopted me. There are many, many different reasons why people choose adoption and the should not be judged or shamed for it. Its the biggest act of selfless love a mother can give her baby if she feels she cant care for her baby for whatever reason.
@@Ruth78620 there are definitely good and bad stories.
@@candydodson1283i ave a full brother whos 2 years older than me but my birth mothers father was brutal apparently so she kept a boy but gave up her daughter. Im sure you can read between the lines. She did ut to protect me. Theres more good adoption stories but you dont hear about those. In the UK you get mo ey to foster but not when you adopt. I think if that was the case in the states these cases may drop because if theyre doing it solely for money they wont adopt theyll foster and CPS should absolutely be checking on foster children on a regular basisu and you take the children aside and speak to them alone so if there are issues youbcan sort them there and then.
Watching on replay but I wish all adopted children could be as fortunate as me. I was adopted at 3 by a family that already had 4 natural children. I knew nothing but love and acceptance by this family. Fortunately, most adopted children are in families like mine. Thanks for the coverage. Love your channel!
Keeping the surviving children in my thoughts and prayers and sending so much love. 🙏♡✨️
Rest in Peace, Blake and London 🕊🕊
I lived in Fayetteville NC for years so sad prayers for the children
I truly appreciate you and your team's hard work. Y'all have really built an amazing community!! That's why so many folks help you to get the correct information.
Thank you for shedding light on this story Gisela. So incredibly tragic and I would like 5 minutes in a room with this woman. This is so horrific
Reform CPS nationwide now!
Blake's biological mom is hard to believe. He was utterly distraught and begging to not be returned yet she didn't contact authorities, bang on the monster's door, request a well check, nothing???
I feel awful for the bio mother of Blake who had no legal choice but to let her son go and hope he contacts her when hes 18. Heartbreaking. I couldn't not even imagine.
Doesn't the FBI get called immediately regarding a child going missing under suspicious circumstances? Or is that state to state? I was under the impression that every state country-wide assigns an endangered missing child's case over to the FBI as lead investigators immediately... regardless of their location potentially being moved across state lines.
Correction: maybe not immediately if it's pertaining to a certain close member/friend/identified suspect of the child/their family, though still immediately if the child is transferred over state lines.
Mmm well why did they adopt these kids out if they "loved and cherished" them so much???
So much information that you put together. Great channel
A "Home School" isn't a school. It's a parent schooling children at home, registered with the municipality where they live, which means SHE HAD CHILDREN BEFORE SHE ADOPTED THESE ONES!!
It depends on where you live. I think it’s pretty uncommon for parents to have to register their “home school” with anyone. Homeschool lobbies are HUGE and have many republican friends in state legislatures and they fight tooth and nail against any kind of regulation. These days “unschooling” is a big thing. Kids get to be teenagers and still don’t know how to read or do basic math.
It’s easier for these psycho parents to have complete control over their families when the kids can’t function in society.
Thank you Gisela.
This one is in my area and I'm beyond belief. This is horrific. You said the town name right.
How in 2024 is this happening so much?
These people are not being checked and vetted often enough.
How can these kids be missing for that long without schools and social services, doctors, benefit agencies noticing? Massive failure and it doesn’t get better.
It’s enough to make you lose any hope for the world. 😔
Call Foster and adoptive parents it should be mandated to provide medical professionals sending in records monthly of a full exam not the doctor of choice either it should be a pool of medical professionals that are ordered to see children at certain time fee free
This is terrible and unacceptable!
This is just insane , we really need to protect the children better . If you see something say something. I'd rather be called a nosy "Karen" and be right ,than not say something because I was too afraid of what other people thought .
I live about 15 minutes away from Autryville and about 35 minutes from Fayetteville.
You do such a great job at this
Gisela thank you so much for covering this case. So sad😢 🙏❤🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
😢😢 more children FAILED😢😢 again , leave our Children alone. Evil times getting worse prison to good for these 😈 people monsters of demons, Thank you for covering and without all the cursing and disgusting language.
What in GOD’s Holy name is wrong with people. LORD have mercy on her soul & may the little boys rest in our Mother Mary’s arms forever. Sweet angels. 🙇♂️🙇🏻♂️ (👼🏼👼🏼).
So many children are really taken for crappy reasons and really shouldn't be taken from their biological parents at all. And so many people that are really good people that would be great parents cannot foster children or adopt them but then people like this can. Unbelievable! Our system is broken.
Thank you for covering this story. I live in the state of North Carolina and I had just heard about this. It is horrific. The system seems to be failing children over and over again. You may want to cover another story that happened in North Carolina. The Zahra Baker story
Thanks G.
So upsetting....cps needs a wakeup call
the ad in the paper isn't to locate it's just a procedure for divorce when you can't serve the person you can run an ad for a certain amount of time and then be granted the divorce
The snark: "I´m calling nooooow!" Omg i have to keep my mouth shut on this one...
I live in Fayetteville and this is totally devastating to our community
You said it right, Fayetteville. I live a hour from here and have never heard about thjs case.
She looks well fed of course. Yet starved these kids to death. This seems so familiar 😡
